CSS horizontal centering of a fixed div?

by

The answers here are outdated. Now you can easily use a CSS3 transform without hardcoding a margin. This works on all elements, including elements with no width or dynamic width.

Horizontal center:

left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);

Vertical center:

top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);

Both horizontal and vertical:

left: 50%;
top: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

Compatibility is not an issue: http://caniuse.com/#feat=transforms2d
